Tunnel Containers
As the name implies the most important feature of a tunnel containers is the dual door design on each side of the container. This significantly improves accessibility and makes them ideal for handling and storage of goods.
They are also popular for conversion into self storage units as you can divide them by constructing an enclosure wall. We have assisted customers to utilize them for plant machinery storage and secure site access with turnstiles.
Dual Access
A tunnel container is an altered version of the typical shipping container, with double doors at both ends. They are also referred to as a "double end door container" or a "tunnel-shaped container". They provide access to the storage items at both ends.
The dual-end access allows for cargo to be loaded and unloaded from either side of the container, which is ideal if you're transporting bulkier or larger items that would otherwise need to be backed in and out of the container. Double-end access removes the need to empty the entire container in order to reach goods buried deep inside, saving time and reducing the chance of damage.
This clever feature is what makes tunnel containers so flexible and adaptable. They can be used to fulfill various transportation and storage needs, as well as being transformed into mobile offices or living spaces. These containers are made of tough, corrosion-resistant Corten steel that can endure the toughest weather conditions.
If you're looking for a safer alternative, we can join steel bulkheads to one of the long sides of the container, creating two separate storage compartments measuring 10 feet. Self-storage companies can make use of them to divide their customers' belongings into different areas, which increases security. Double-end door containers are very popular for large events as ticket entrances because they can hold large crowds and keep them dry.
Our new 20ft double door tunnel containers have fork pockets that are suitable for industrial forklifts. This means that they are able to be stackable or lifted from the corners of each side. 20ft tunnel container are also fitted with heaters and PIR insulation, making them ideal for storage throughout the year.
We can make tunnel containers with customized dimensions to meet your specific requirements if you require an even more customized solution. We can manufacture them in both double-sided and single-sided versions and also in various lengths. However a custom-sized tunnel container will be more expensive than the standard shipping container, so we recommend getting the closest size to your requirements.
Temperature-Sensitive Goods
Most dangerous goods including explosives, flammable liquids, and organic peroxides, require storage at the right temperature. Temperature fluctuations can cause many problems, including a fire and toxic fumes. When storing temperature-sensitive hazardous goods, it's essential that container terminal facilities are equipped with the appropriate monitoring equipment to track and identify any anomalies or deviations from set temperatures.
These fluctuations can be difficult to spot, particularly during a hectic workday. This is the reason it's vital that container terminals have systems that provide real-time temperature monitoring of all reefer containers within their facility. This gives personnel the ability to react quickly in case of any anomalies and to avoid any risks that could arise.
Tunnel containers are a practical option when it comes to transporting and storing temperature-sensitive goods. Double doors are found at both ends of the container, making it easier to load and unload during transportation as well as storage. They can also be used to store bulky objects, such as machinery and vehicles.
The modified containers are typically made from a standard 20ft or 40ft shipping container, the solid end is removed and new double doors are welded in place, resulting in two-way access. These modified containers are commonly used on construction locations where heavy machinery needs to be passed over and under.
Certain container terminals convert their tunnel shipping containers into secure entrances for their site, installing a turnstile as the users enter. These conversions, which aren't available in standard sizes, can be customized to meet specific requirements. They are also less expensive than building a complete facility. Tunnel containers are typically only available as a 'new one trip' condition. This is because their owners build them for a specific purpose and then retain them. They are highly sought-after by those looking to expand their business or warehouse without having to invest in new refrigeration equipment. They are also a very economical solution for those who want to store temperature-sensitive goods over long periods of time, or for transporting large volumes of cargo over long distances.
Convenient Storage
If you're looking for storage for your cargo, a tunnel container is an ideal choice. These shipping containers have double doors on both sides of the container, unlike traditional dry storage containers that have doors on one side.

This means you won't need to turn your vehicle around and out of the storage container on a regular basis which could cause damage to the container as well as your vehicle.
You can also store goods in a tunnel container when you want to keep an appropriate temperature. The refrigerator and thermal tunnel containers are perfect for this as they have temperature control that keeps the items inside at a certain temperature.
A tunnel container is a great solution for a garage or workshop. It allows you to access all areas of your work space without having to move any furniture. Dual doors at either end let you quickly get into and out of your storage container, if required.
One trip tunnel containers can be built from scratch using two sets of double doors, or modified from a standard shipping container. In the latter case, the solid end of the container is removed, and the double doors are is welded to each end of the container.
Shipping containers such as these are usually only available as new in a 'one-trip condition' since their owners have built them for a specific purpose and don't want them to be sold. However, you can purchase refurbished tunnel containers from companies that provide this particular type of container. These refurbished containers have been inspected to ensure that they are safe to transport and are sold with a warranty that is extended to provide additional peace of mind.
Easy Transportation
The double cargo doors at both ends of a tunnel container make it easy to unload and load items from either end.

Side open containers have doors that are positioned on the sides of the container which makes them ideal for the storage of smaller goods. A refrigerated ISO container, or reefer, has a regulated temperature and can be used to store temperature-sensitive goods.
They are available in refurbished and new models in sizes of 20 and 40 feet and have doors on both sides to facilitate easy loading. These containers can be customized to meet your requirements but will cost more than a standard double-end door container.
